You Beat All I Ever Saw
Frozen Gold: Johnny Cash's Tale of Love's Endurance
Lyrics
I've walked though every town
I've experienced life in every town.
Saw fortunes lost and found
Witnessed both success and failure.
And when your trail failed i walked holes
When your path ended, I endured hardship.
In both my soles
I faced challenges that left marks on my shoes.
But i don't expect you back
I don't anticipate your return.
You're somewhere making tracks
You're forging a new path elsewhere.
I crossed the burning bridges
I've overcome difficult situations.
And walked through miles of sand
I've traversed desolate landscapes.
Met the lawless and the law
I've encountered both the law-abiding and lawless.
But you beat all i ever saw
But you surpass everything I've witnessed.
I dreamed a million miles
I've daydreamed extensively about you.
About your eyes and smiles
Envisioned your eyes and smiles countless times.
I tried to love the best
I aimed to love profoundly.
And to turn from all the rest
Sought to distance myself from others.
But i'd scan the skies for you
I searched the skies for you.
And i only saw your hue
Yet, I only perceived your essence.
They drew away your mould
Others removed your original form.
You were made of frozen gold
You were crafted from unyielding material.
And your heart would never thaw
Your emotions remained unchanged.
You beat all i ever saw
You surpass all that I have ever witnessed.
